Modeling shielded cables in Xyce based on transmission-line theory

Campione, Salvatore; Pung, Aaron J.; Warne, Larry K.; Langston, William L.; Mei, Ting M.

Electromagnetic shields are usually employed to protect cables and other devices; however, these are generally not perfect, and may permit external magnetic and electric fields to penetrate into the interior regions of the cable, inducing unwanted current and voltages. The aim of this paper is to verify a circuit model tool with our previously proposed analytical model [1] for evaluating currents and voltages induced in the inner conductor of braided-shield cables. This circuit model will enable coupling between electromagnetic and circuit simulations.
